Just a preview of this story, just to see what's coming up! First chapter should be up next week sometime. I am working on this story with two other people so I should have tons of ideas. :D

"Chloe, darling!" Called Chloe Snow's mother, Grace Snow.

"Yes?" Chloe replied as she walked down the wooden staircase leading to the family room.

Chloe jumped down the last few steps and on contact with the ground it made a loud thump.

"Chloe, please no jumping." Grace scolded Chloe who now stood in front of her mother who was in the middle on the family room.

"Chloe, your father and I are going to your brother's hockey game tonight around 6 o' clock. Can you let Maisy out around 7? I'll let her back in when I get home." Grace told her daughter who was around the same height as her.

Maisy was the family's little cocker spaniel, who was resting on the couch beside where Grace and Chloe stood.

"Ok, just make sure Keegan doesn't use my water bottle this time." Chloe requested.
She hated when her little brother, Keegan used her water bottle; cause he'd always end up denting her purple metal water bottle with pink stripes on it.

Chloe has just changed into her pj's by the time 7pm rolled around. She had soccer practice 6:30am the next day so she had to go to bed early.

"Maisy!" Chloe called for her puppy. Within seconds the cocker spaniel was by Chloe's side while Chloe opened the back sliding door to release her puppy into their fenced backyard.

By 8:30pm Chloe was already in her room that she shared with her older sister Quin, who was away at her girlfriend's for the night.

Chloe slid into her bed, and pulled the covers up that they almost covered her head. Chloe had a weak immune system and she likes to pull the covers up a lot so she doesn't get cold, and possibly even sick.

Beep. Beep. Beep.
Chloe's alarm went off waking her from her slumber.
She rolled over and seen the clock that read "5:45am"

Weird, Chloe thought to herself. Her alarm would only go off if her mother didn't wake her up at 5:30am.

Chloe climbed out of bed and walked across the cold hardwood floor that creaked beneath her as she made her way to her dresser to get changed.

Chloe got dressed into black shorts, and a blue t-shirt. She would change into her soccer uniform in the bathrooms when she got to the field.

The house seemed unsettling quiet. Usually Maisy would be inside barking at Chloe or at her mother.
Chloe didn't smell any breakfast, her mother always made breakfast before soccer.

Maybe she just slept in, Chloe thought to herself as she made her way down the hall, passed her brother's room, to her parents room.

Knock. Knock.

No answer.

"Mum? Dad?" Chloe called out as she opened the door to her parents bedroom. And instead of seeing her parents sleeping in bed; Chloe was greeted with a neatly made bed, and no sign of her parents.

Chloe tipped toed down the cold wooden stairs, skipping the last few by jumping to the bottom.

Thud

Silence.

Usually Grace would scold Chloe for jumping but instead the only sound Chloe could hear was the sound of her own breathing. She didn't even hear birds.
